THE CAROLINA PANTHERS The Carolina Panthers have held training camp at Wofford since their inaugural season in1995. The camp provides Wofford tremendous national exposure and vis- ibility. Media members that visit Wofford during the five-week camp include ESPN, Fox Sports Net, USA Today and Sports Illustrated. Local print and television media from markets including Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Asheville and Greensboro/Winston-Salem are on campus on a daily basis. According to SI.com’s Tim Layden, “as I like to think of it: Training Camp Heaven. Wofford is 70 miles west of Charlotte on I-85, and presents all the reasons why there is something special about taking the team on the road for camp. Three pristine, Bermuda-grass fields with a stand of tall pines on two sides and a steep hillside -- where fans sit and watch -- on another. Fans, many of them young boys and girls, lined up along the fence, getting autographs after practice. It’s a scene straight out of football’s past.”
